2011–12 LEB Oro season

Competition format

Eligibility of players

All teams must have in their roster:

• A minimum of six players who played in Spain during three season being between 15 and 20 years old.
• A maximum of two non-EU players. This players can be replaced by players from the EU or ACP countries.
• A maximum of three players from the EU or ACP countries.

Teams can not sign any player after February 29, 2012.

Regular season

Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in Liga LEB the league ends after every team plays 34 games. The first round will be played on September 23, 2011 and the last one on April 27, 2012.

Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.

Since the 18th round, if two or more teams have accumulated the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:

1. Head-to-head winning games.
2. Head-to-head points coefficient.
3. Total points coefficient.

After the first half of the season (17th round), the two top qualified teams will play the Copa Príncipe de Asturias and the leader will be the host team. This game will be on February 1, 2012.

At the final of the season:

• The regular season winner promotes directly to Liga ACB.
• Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs to ACB.
• Teams qualified in 16th and 17th will play a relegation play-out to LEB Plata.
• Team qualified in 18th position is relegated directly to LEB Plata.

Team information

CB Granada and Menorca Bàsquet were directly relegated from ACB after finishing in the bottom two places and they will substitute CB Murcia (champion) and Blu:sens Monbús.

Aguas de Sousas Ourense and Fundación Adepal Alcázar, who lost the relegation playoffs against Palencia Baloncesto, left the league after finishing in 17th and 18th position. Knet Rioja as champion of LEB Plata and Iberostar Bàsquet Mallorca as LEB Plata playoffs winner will enjoy the league.

On August 1, and when the registration date expired days ago, CB Tarragona announced would resign to their berth in LEB Oro and would try to join the group C of Liga EBA, but finally the Catalan team will compete at this league.
